Fontenot also received a new Titleist golf bag embroidered with the LGA logo and “2021 LGA Junior Amateur Champion” signifying his victory. The top-5 finishers are exempt into the 103rd Louisiana Amateur Championship to be conducted at TPC Louisiana, June 9-12, 2022.  Fontenot earned full exempt status with the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA).  Other AJGA Performance Based Entry Stars were awarded to the boys as follows: Top 5 (12 Performance Stars), Top 10 (8 Stars), Top 15 (4 Stars). Rounding out the Top 10 to finish at even par or better are:                 T5) Patrick Blaum, Covington, 2021 (-3) 71-70-141             T5) Ethan Dial, Bossier City, 2023 (-3) 70-71-141  T7) Ben Blanco, Broussard, 2025 (-2) 73-69-142   T7) Preston Giroir, Slidell, 2023 (-2) 70-72-142     9) Ross Anderson, Lake Charles, 2023 (-1) 70-73-143         T10) Walter Anderson, Baton Rouge, 2023 (E) 72-72-144 T10) Eli Hill, Bossier City, 2022 (E) 73-71-144         T10) Canon Clark, Lafayette, 2022 (E) 72 -72-144 T10) Joshua Achord, Abita Springs, 2023 (E) 72-72-144     T10) Riley Hnatyshyn, Abita Springs, 2022 (E) 71-73-144  Ellendale Country Club played to a par 72 at approximately 6,735 yards for the Championship.
